Drinks in the Garden

We have become good friends with our neighbors in Maine. They invited us to have drinks at the house of their good friends (D &S). We got a tour of their garden - it was so beautiful that it could be on the cover of any home & garden magazines. We also got a tasting of some sweet peas and cherries freshly picked from the garden. It was a lovely evening spent in an idyllic setting with bottomless mojitos and stimulating conversations.

Blossoms after the rain

It has been rainy and overcast. We were told this was unusual weather for July but the rain is really good for the local farms. Lots of flowers blossomed after the rain.

Another great family-friendly hike in the town of Bar Harbor! Well, it’s more like a walk with nice views than a hike because it’s totally flat with well-defined path.

Picking Wild Blueberries

There is a large field of wild blueberries right in front of our rental house. The harvest season is usually early Aug to early Sep so we were pleasantly surprised when we spotted some ripe ones in early July. We had a blasting picking them and they tasted good too - you can’t get more organic than this!!!
